Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A logic circuit comprising: a plurality of cascade-connected flip-flops, for generating a plurality of pulse signals whose frequencies are different, in synchronization with a clock signal which is input from external to the logic circuit; and a reset circuit that resets one or more of said flip-flops independently from remaining ones of said flip-flops, wherein said logic circuit is formed on or over an insulating substrate, and wherein a level-shift circuit is formed on said insulating substrate, and level-shifts the clock signal prior to the clock signal being input to the reset circuit.

2

2. The logic circuit according to claim 1 , wherein said reset circuit takes the clock signal as an input, and generates separate reset signals at least partially based on the timing of the clock signal.

3

3. The logic circuit according to claim 1 , wherein there are at least three flip-flops cascade-connected.

4

4. A timing generation circuit comprising: a plurality of cascade-connected flip-flops, for generating a plurality of pulse signals whose frequencies are different, in synchronization with a clock signal; and a reset circuit that resets one or more of said flip-flops independently from remaining ones of said flip-flops, wherein said timing generation circuit is formed on or over an insulating substrate, and wherein a level-shift circuit is formed on said insulating substrate, and level-shifts the clock signal prior to the clock signal being input to the reset circuit.

5

5. The timing generation circuit according to claim 2 , wherein said reset circuit takes the clock signal as an input, and generates separate reset signals at least partially based on the timing of the clock signal.

6

6. The timing generation circuit according to claim 2 , wherein there are at least three flip-flops cascade-connected.

7

7. A timing circuit comprising: a plurality of flip-flops, for generating a plurality of pulse signals whose frequencies are different, in synchronization with a clock signal; and a reset circuit that takes said clock signal as an input, and which independently resets each of said flip-flops, at different timings, at least partially based upon the timing of said clock signal, wherein said timing circuit is formed on or over an insulating substrate, and wherein a level-shift circuit is formed on said insulating substrate, and level-shifts the clock signal prior to the clock signal being input to the reset circuit.

8

8. The timing generation circuit according to claim 7 , wherein there are at least three flip-flops cascade-connected.
